@manyvoices now has a wiki page.

 

 

 

This is a collaborative story created by 140 different middle school students across the globe using Twitter.com. Each student will use the same Twitter account to contribute their 140 (or less) characters. Each contribution will be copied and pasted into this Google doc as the story unfolds. (This project was inspired by Cameron Reilly at The Podcast Network. He came up with the original idea of Twittory stories.)

How to participate:
1. contact me: mrmayo.org@gmail.com. Or, twitter me @mrmayo.
2. I will send you an e-mail invite to The Sign Up Page.
3. When your time is up, log in and have your students add individual updates to our collaborative Twitter Page, Many Voices.


The story will start to unfold below:

1. In the depths of New York City, on top of the Empire State Building, a creature rested. That creature was me.

2. As I feel my life slipping away from me, I can barely remember a time when I was happy. I remember my friends and family. Like a dream.

3. I feel like I'm totaly lost. It's like I'm in a scary movie. I can't even see because it's so foggy. What am I going to do? Where can I go?

4. Maybe I'll slowly creep away tonight, while the city sleeps, and make my way back to the depths of the ocean. A place I call home.

5. As I start down, I can still see movement in the city. So I creep lightly through dark alleys so nobody can see me. Suddenly,

6. I see a light turn on in a window. My eyes lock with a young woman holding a baby. She screams and I start to run.
